Leading Brands in Diesel-Fuelled Cars
Diesel engines are around 30 per cent more efficient than petrol, which means you will spend less on fuel. Per litre diesel creates more CO2 emissions than petrol, but because you use less diesel than petrol it contributes less to global warming. While you may be using less diesel than petrol, diesel is often more expensive than petrol and diesel cars are more expensive than their petrol equivalents.
One another note, there are also health concerns when it comes to the use of diesel engines as they are a major source of particle matter emissions. They emit 20 times the particle matter of petrol engines. Particle matter has been linked to cancer and respiratory disease.
